Louise

Loving mother and grandmother

Outgoing, adventurous and full of fun

Upbeat personality, making people smile

Interested in everything family orientated

Strong willed, determined to leave her mark

Energetic, free spirited and much loved

Storm Eowyn

The sky begins to darken

as rain starts to lash down

winds blasting from the west

hitting many a city and town

with roads and bridges closed

and no trains will run today

all school are empty now

not a child seen out to play

make sure that you are safe

this storm will be so fierce

trees and houses will be hit

howling gales that pierce

it`s best to remain indoors

safe from this howling storm

while winds and rain rage on

where we`ll be safe and warm

Poetry can say so much about love and emotion, this heart shaped verse makes a lovely gift for a special person 💓

   Love is..

Love is                     patient

love is kind               and gentle

it does not boast        or hurt anyone

love is not proud or rude love is not self 

seeking or keeps records of wrong doings

it`s tender and caring building memories

 together. Love is not blind, but sees all 

 that is true. Love is an unconditional 

commitment.  Love is a decision,

strong feeling a judgement.

Love is  a  promise to

honour each other

and for eternity

I love you

simply

love

U

If ……

If hugs were flowers
I`d walk through a garden to meet you

If kisses were roses
I`d leap through a flowerbed to kiss you

If peace was like an ocean
I`d sail across it to find peace with you

If love fills my heart
I`ll fly to the moon to be by your side

(C) Lissie Bull 2025

 On a clear night, it`s great to see this bright shiny orb we call the moon!

 

Heavenly Moon

This circle of bright light

shining through the dark at night

way up high in the sky

where angelic angels fly

this orb of fire that I see

glistening down upon me

a warm glow up in the sky

watching us like a caring eyes

this sweet heavenly sphere

that fills my heart with cheer

hope I'll see you again soon

my shiny heaven sent moon

 Lazy Sundays

  Shhh! its Sunday...a day of rest
  chill and relaxation is the best
  hot coffee while reading the paper
  quiet moments that we need to savour
  wafting aromas of a Sunday roast
  then maybe a stroll along the coast
  evenings in front of a roaring fire
  counting the years until we retire
  soft gentle memories remain so clear
  of lazy Sundays that are so dear

Be strong and smile

for you`re incredible

show the whole world

that you`re invincible

there`s nothing you should fear

let your heart be your guide

for you are never really alone

be happy and full of pride

so when you`re feeling down

remember how special you are

for you`re one in a million

stand stall, shine like a bright star

I saw a lovely photograph of a lake surrounded with trees and rocks creating a mirror image on the waters surface.  It was beautiful and so peaceful. I just wanted to step in and reflect.  Some where to meditate.

Mysterious Tranquility

standing by the waters edge

watching the clouds reflected

touched by the mystery

just feeling so connected

landscape mirrored on the surface

reflecting every rock and tree

opening your soul`s window

creating tranquility

silence is broken by a screech

and a fluttering of feathers

as an eagle swoops over

disappearing into the heathers

waters cold upon my feet

rippling over my skin

as I stand in the shallows

fighting the urge to step in

this place is full of mystery

mirroring your inner peace

nature at its purest

full of contentment and grace.

(C) Lissie's Poems 2025

Silence, tranquillity

reverence, humility

beauty is everywhere

for us all to share

colours and textures

fragrance and pictures

red, green and yellows

family, fun and meadows

blue, purple and cream

frogs by the stream

children`s activity

ball games and poetry

warm sun of our faces

as we rest in these places

laughter and smiles are sighted

as families are united

sharing their stories

creating new memories

I have had to get up early this morning, and found the car all frozen over, fun and games to clear it, before being able to drive off !!

              With gloves and keys in hand               

the car is covered in ice

encased in a layer of white

there`s scraping to be done!

it takes some time to clear

with billowing clouds of breath

the chore is now complete

engine roaring, heater blowing

all strapped in for the ride

the car begins to steam up!

it`s now time to set off

and explore the wintry world

Misty mornings are mystical,  inspiring my day.

The same walk can be so different at the start of each day.

I wrote this poem 11 years ago and yet it still relevant today.

Always be aware and enjoy nature all around us. 

 

 Through Misty Woods

When everything

just gets to me

there's this place

I escape to

along the path

through misty woods

tall trees stand there

disappearing

into the mists

leading to peace

my haven there

through misty woods

shadows abound

mysteries here

somewhere to hide

no one would know

here I can walk

through misty woods

these mossy trees

standing in line

leading me on

along the track

to my escape

through misty woods

On a morning after the snow has fallen, you wake up to a brightness beaming through the curtains, and you just know the world is all wrapped up in its snow duvet.  Muffled silence.   I just love that feeling.

Muffled World

Waking up to total silence

a sense of bright deafness all around me

a world covered by a thick white duvet

that shines in through my bedroom window

muffling all the every day sounds

creating a stillness everywhere

a white blanket

of cotton wool

all about me this early morning

stood on my back door threshold

surveying the white scenery that greets me

this world still wrapped in its blanket

that covers right to the horizon

suppressing the sounds from my senses

a calmness from all the stresses

a white softness

of fluffy towels

comforting me this early morning.

Sun light catches every twig and branch

each bough shimmering with snow

wintry frost seen all around

capturing the last of the day`s glow

a landscape dressed in black and white 

under an uninterrupted blue sky
each surface snug under it`s blanket
a wonderful view to catch my eye

Wintry Sun

 Silent stillness bounds this place

blanket of snow muffles any sound

trees silhouetted by the sun

everything sparkling all around

branches fringed by shining twigs

are shimmering like white beards

sunlight flashes brightly through them

as the shadows disappears

clear bright blue skies above this scene

with a layer of snow everywhere

the sun like a spotlight shining

illuminating these trees with care

this image,  a moment in time

a winter postcard looking grand

bright sunshine shimmering on the snow

creating a magic wonderland
